Beautiful park with wonderfully crafted buildings. Wish we’d been here a few weeks earlier to tour inside the buildings but we still enjoyed our visit. Looks like a great place for a picnic.
This park was so beautiful and serene, even when it's super cold and gray outside! Tina was absolutely wonderful to our family when we went inside the Visitor's Center to check out what was in the Minot area and gift shop. She's spent SO much time speaking with us candidly. We are considering moving to the area and she shared personal experiences and recommendations based on us having a very young child and our interests. She was one of the most kind people we met during our week-long trip and she was so sweet to our son. She never rushed us and offered to take our photo with a really charming hand-carved troll bench. Thanks so much for everything, Tina! You really made this park and experience so much more special and memorable for us!
Learned a lot about the different groups that make up the Scandinavian culture. If you are lucky enough, catch one of the festivals here!. We had a spectacular time with the locals calling the Vikings to light the bonfire on the pond!
Great park, with little bits of history. The buildings in the park are beautiful. Great place to run around for a couple of hours. Went later in the day after everything was closed.
Family friendly and educational. Love the Dalahäst Dala horse installation! Old style Norwegian church "Gol Stave Church Museum" at Scandinavian Heritage Association. Walking paths are beautiful. Statues have numbers to call and listen to their stories. Going into the main building, many crafts, collectables and snacks for sale. Scenic water features and more.
Really cool! Definitely worth a quick stop. Only takes maybe 10 minutes to walk through. I stayed a bit longer, but won't take up a big chunk of your day if you're just passing through to another destination.
Really friendly people with a lot of cool buildings to walk around and see. Worth stopping by if you're ever in Minot
Went to the Midsommer event. Really fun, lots of food trucks and craft vendors . Restrooms: Outside and in the visitors building. Dog-friendliness: Saw people with dogs. Picnic area: Lots of tables, pavillion.
Just like the other reviewers say "this place is unique and fantastic" it's a must go, and it won't take so long for you to go through the park - but do go and enjoy the amazing architecture and artwork. The park is serene and a wonderful respite from the daily grind of a day or your travels.
The visitor center people were super friendly and knowledgeable. Restrooms: Clean restroom but only 1 stall.
